InfluxDB UI

In the InfluxDB UI, go to Settings->Templates and enter this URL: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/influxdata/community-templates/master/monitoring_influxdb_1.x/influxdb1.x.yml

Influx CLI

If you have your InfluxDB credentials configured in the CLI, you can install this template with:

influx apply -u https://raw.githubusercontent.com/influxdata/community-templates/master/monitoring_influxdb_1.x/influxdb1.x.yml

Included Resources

  • 1 Bucket: Telegraf, 7d retention
  • 3 Labels: InfluxDB1.x,Solution,Telegraf
  • 1 Telegraf Configuration: InfluxDB_1.x.conf
  • 3 Checks: Disk Usage Check, Host Deadman, and Memory Usage Check
  • 2 Dashboards: InfluxDB 1.x and Telegraf
  • 3 Variables: bucket, influxdb_host, and telegraf_host

Setup Instructions

General instructions on using InfluxDB Templates can be found in the use a template document.

The data for the dashboard is populated by the included Telegraf configuration. The Telegraf Configuration requires the following environment variables

  • INFLUX_TOKEN - The token with the permissions to read Telegraf configs and write data to the telegraf bucket. You can just use your operator token to get started.
  • INFLUX_ORG - The name of your Organization
  • INFLUX_HOST - The URL of your InfluxDB host (this can your localhost, a remote instance, or InfluxDB Cloud)

You MUST set these environment variables before running Telegraf using something similar to the following commands

  • This can be found on the Load Data > Tokens page in your browser: export INFLUX_TOKEN=TOKEN
  • Your Organization name can be found on the Settings page in your browser: export INFLUX_ORG=my_org

You can start Telegraf using the instructions from the Telegraf > Setup Instructions link in the UI.

Customizations

You can easily update the Telegraf configurations to point to a specific InfluxDB 1.x location by setting the options in the InfluxDB Input or the InfluxDB 2.0 Output.
